About the artist
With 17 years behind the machine and a fine art foundation in oil painting and charcoal, Joe brings both technical mastery and thoughtful precision to every tattoo he creates. His transition from canvas to skin began early. After getting tattooed as a teen, he knew he’d found his calling.
Joe’s style is rooted in black and grey realism, with a particular love for pop culture portraiture. His focus? Longevity. “Is this going to last?” is the question that drives every design decision he makes. For Joe, a tattoo isn’t just about how it looks on day one. It’s about how it heals, how it ages, and how it lives on.
He draws inspiration from industry icons like David Vega, Bob Tyrell, Noah, and Shine, and still remembers the convention where his very first portrait piece earned an award — a moment that confirmed he was on the right path. Now based at Club Tattoo inside Mandalay Bay, Joe thrives in a studio that matches his energy: clean, professional, and fun.
When he’s not tattooing, you’ll find him exploring the skies with paramotoring, teeing off on the golf course, or traveling to soak up fresh inspiration. Oh, and in case you're wondering, yes, his mom has tattooed him once. Ask him about it.
